  • Use as up to 15% of your grain bill

148 L - Briess Crystal Red Malt is a unique drum-roasted, crystallized malt known for its powerful coloring properties and distinct flavor profile. It's an excellent way to achieve a range of hues, from subtle gold to deep red and brown, depending on the amount used. This specialty malt delivers a complex mix of caramel, burnt sugar, raisiny, and prune notes. Its flavor contribution intensifies as you increase the percentage in your grain bill.

  • 3-7%: Creates a vibrant red color and mild flavors of caramel and toffee, ideal for English Reds and Scotch Ales.
  • 7-10%: Delivers deep red to cola-like colors and complex sugar notes, perfect for Dark Ales and Lagers.
